My daily life is getting weird because I am caught between being in a band and being an idol.

"Seriously... We're all girls, the same age, why should I take care of you... But... I guess I'm cuter..."

. .

"Senior...it seems the situation isn't looking good...the audience outside wants to see their idol perform...why don't you try going on stage and jumping around yourself?"

Wearing a black jacket that was open, revealing her sports bra and showing off her sexy belly button, Hasegawa Aimi walked into the lounge and began to complain to Yuyuko, who was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, resting.

At this moment, everyone has changed into slightly sexy and revealing black stage outfits.

If Chaoyang were here right now, he would definitely want to take a good look at it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly do such a thing?!"

Honestly, my body is so tense right now I can barely move! I can't even jump.

Although Yuyuko appeared calm on the surface, she was actually in a state of panic inside.

Hasegawa Aimi recognized Yuuko's defiant tone and casually shrugged.

"It was just a joke to help you relax, senior. Of course we know you can't dance... If you really danced, you'd probably only be able to do a robot dance."

"Alright! Now that you're back, let's go!!!"

To avoid letting her teammates see her nervousness, Yuyu quickly went outside.

"…Senior, you forgot your guitar."

“Hmm…”

As soon as the door opened, Youyouzi had to quickly lower her head, go back to get the item, and then run out again.

"Honestly, he's clearly nervous to death, but he still insists on being brave..."

Hasegawa Aimi sighed and looked at the door that was still swinging back and forth, and couldn't help but complain.

"Mmm, mmm~~"

Honjo Fuuko patted her on the shoulder.

"It's because Yuyuko-senpai is so cute that I follow her~~ Ai"

"Where's the cuteness...? She's rude and loves to show off... The only thing I admire about her is her hard work... Playing guitar for 6 hours a day is simply amazing... If I didn't feel so sorry for her, I'd be a little scared and want to leave the band. Right, Youyou..."

"Hmm? Yuyu~ It's nothing~ It's just that Yuyuko~ has some fun things attached to her..."

Hasegawa Aimi wiped away her cold sweat. Uchida Yuuyu was the mysterious girl in their team, always a bit eccentric. Although she had a bit of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) problem, she was actually a very skillful girl. All of their team's stage costumes were handmade by her.

"Never mind, I shouldn't have asked you... Okay, let's go. Senior Yuyuko should have calmed down by now... But this is our first time hosting a venue with over a thousand people... Let's finish this quickly and go back. I'm exhausted."

Honjo Fuuko, with her guitar slung over her shoulder, laughed and joked.

"Oh? You're not going to any handshake events or anything like that?"

"Huh? No way... I don't want to be holding sticky hands and smiling at otaku... Since we're a rock band, let's conquer them the way rock bands do. I think Yuuko-senpai would say that."

. .

“Red bean paste private Marseille!!!”

Chaoyang bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle, his tone full of helplessness and guilt. Standing opposite him was a policeman in uniform, with a kind smile on his face, who scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed by the overly formal apology.

"Haha... It's nothing, it's nothing. But you should tell your friend to be more careful in the future. Getting drunk in broad daylight and then sleeping right on the side of the road is not only dangerous, but it can also scare passersby and cause trouble for others."

As the police officer spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the person behind Chaoyang.

Chaoyang also turned around and looked at Hiroi Kikuri, the "problematic person" who was being escorted by the police.

That idiot...

At this moment, she still seemed disoriented, standing there swaying back and forth as if she might fall at any moment.

"Alright, you guys get back to work, I'm leaving."

"You've had a hard time... You idiot, at least don't drink so much! You know perfectly well I called you here for something."

"No, I didn't drink too much... I'm... I'm fine..."

"Ha... Next time I'll introduce you to a drunkard. I think you could become friends with him."

Upon finally seeing Kiku, I couldn't help but think of Momoka. I originally thought Momoka was a drunkard, but compared to the idiot in front of me, she was nothing.

"Alright, let's go... Yuyuko will be on stage soon, and seeing you will probably give her more confidence."

Chaoyang, too lazy to avoid suspicion, ignored the stares of passersby and endured the smell of alcohol, directly dragging her towards the elevator.

"It's okay~~, even without me, among the younger generation, I haven't seen anyone more outstanding than her..."

"If that's what you're saying, then I won't buy you any alcohol. I don't need you anyway."

"I'm just kidding! I'm just kidding! That child can't live without me! Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how to go to the toilet!!!"

Hiroi Kikuri immediately started rambling incoherently.

"...You've gone too far."

After complaining about her, Chaoyang led her into the elevator and pressed the button for the 9th floor.

. .

Backstage.

At this moment, Asahi had already brought Kikuri into the venue, and the employees were all curious as to why their president had found another woman he didn't know, and who reeked of alcohol.

"You can see that the audience isn't very excited right now."

Asahi let Kikuri take a quick look at the atmosphere among the audience.

"Well... there has to be a first time..."

Kikuri didn't seem worried after seeing this, and at that moment Yuyuko and the others also came backstage.

"…! Sister, big sister!? Did you come all this way to see me?"

Yuyuko excitedly ran up to Hiroi Kikuri.

"Wow... Why did Ms. Hiroi have to come... It's rare to not see her."

In comparison, Hasegawa Aimi somewhat disliked Hiroi Kikuri, while Yuuko usually clung to her and even lent her money.

This results in Yuyuko occasionally running out of money.

"...Haha~ I didn't really come here specifically to see you. This guy said he'd treat me to drinks for a month, so he asked me to come."

Hiroi Kikuri, scratching the back of her head with a grin, showed absolutely no professional ethics and blurted out the truth.

When Chaoyang heard this, he couldn't believe it; it was something a human being could do.

"...Idiot...How can you tell the truth at a time like this!"

Feeling like he'd thrown a meat bun at a dog, Chaoyang immediately slapped Hiroi Kikuri on the back of the head in a fit of rage.

"Ouch! That's so mean, buddy! Who hits a woman like that!"

"Who do you think you are! I asked you to come over to help, not to cause trouble!"

As expected, Yuyuko puffed out her cheeks in displeasure upon hearing this.

"Sister, so you only came to see me because of the alcohol?"

"Haha, probably... Because... I always feel like it's a minor setback, and I always feel like you're fine... So, even if we encounter a situation like this, it's okay~~ Of course, if it's a minor setback, I can go on stage with you... Um..."

"... Uchida..."

At this moment, Yuu Uchida took the initiative to step forward, realizing that Kikuri Hiroi had probably forgotten how to call her. As a fellow bassist, she didn't mind, knowing that her leader had always wanted to perform with Kikuri Hiroi, and she had also witnessed Hiroi's skill level, which far surpassed her own; she could basically play her own band's songs after hearing them only once.

However, Yuyuko waved her hand and refused outright.

"Hmph, what are you saying, sister... Youyou is the best bassist I've ever chosen, and even you can't replace her."

"Haha, I thought so too. Just saying..."

Yuyuko picked up her guitar and led the way out from behind the scenes.

"Let's go... let's show the audience what real music is."

The stage lights gradually dimmed, and the noise from the audience subsided. Although many people didn't have high expectations for the upcoming rock band, the atmosphere instantly changed when the smoke machine in the center of the stage began to spew out thick fog.

Accompanied by a deep and powerful bass intro, the shockwave of low frequencies swept through the venue like a shockwave, causing many audience members to feel their chests vibrate slightly. The large screen in the center of the stage lit up, and the red and black logo of SIDEROS gradually appeared.

"Brother, inviting me here was actually unnecessary. Xiao Da's performance is something she'll definitely give it her all. So this time, I'm not going to be polite and just enjoy a month's worth of drinks for free!"

At this moment, the drumbeats on stage came fiercely, as if the heartbeat was forcibly accelerated, instantly grabbing the attention of the entire audience.

"Ah...it seems I did something unnecessary."

"Wa ...

The audience immediately cheered excitedly.

That's the magic of live performances; even those who weren't initially interested will be swept up in the atmosphere and become part of the revelry.

. .

"You've worked hard~~"

SIDEROS' performance has ended.

Four girls, covered in sweat, walked off the stage.

The rising sun went to greet them.

"Hmm~~ We're heading straight back. By the way, where's my sister?"

"Youyouzi said with her head down."

Chaoyang was somewhat surprised, but after thinking for a moment, he realized it wasn't impossible and asked again for confirmation.

"She's asleep over there, we'll take her back later. Aren't you going to show your underwear at the end?"

Only then did Youyouzi raise her head, and when Chaoyang saw her, her pupils seemed to have turned into mosquito coil eyes.

"...No...I can't take it anymore, I feel dizzy."

Hasegawa Aimi stepped forward and helped Yuyuko up, saying.

"After all, Yuuko-senpai has been so nervous these past two days that she's been having trouble sleeping, and now she's completely exhausted. Besides, we're not idols, so it would be a bit awkward to perform together. This kind of show where we leave right after the show is more in line with our rock style."

"Okay, I'll have someone drive you there in a bit. You've had a hard day. I'll post your information on the official website for a while so that your fans can easily find you."

After they finished speaking, they waved and left.

Chaoyang watched their retreating figures as they turned and left.

"...They're quite carefree...they leave without a trace after they've done their job..."

Chaoyang smiled, then made a phone call to have his employee wait downstairs in a van.

Xikashi! In the end, because he didn't tell Xiangzi, Chaoyang got a severe scolding, but that's another story.

Chapter 143 enters the settlement screen.

Thank you everyone! Although we're not mature enough yet, we'll take it one step at a time, moving forward little by little. Please continue to support us so we can go further!

After saying their thanks, the five women bowed deeply to the audience. The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers, with many waving glow sticks and shouting their names.

"Chisato-chan! You guys are the best!"

"Pastel* will always support you!"

The fans' enthusiasm created a final surge of excitement within the venue, as if they didn't want the show to end. At that moment, the idols who had performed earlier emerged from both sides of the stage. Every idol and band member who had poured their heart and soul into the evening gathered together.

They held hands and bowed deeply to the audience once again.

The audience below the stage almost erupted in cheers, the sea of ​​glow sticks lit up again, and applause and cheers were deafening, as if to push the atmosphere of the entire venue to another peak.

Finally, everyone reluctantly left.

As the lights gradually dimmed, a friendly reminder began playing on a loop over and over again.

"Thank you all for coming. The performance has come to a successful conclusion. Please do not push or shove, and leave in an orderly manner as instructed by the staff."

Staff at the exit set up safety barriers and guided the crowd to leave the venue in batches. Their voices continued to ring out.

"Please walk slowly and avoid crowding!"

"Thank you for your cooperation, everyone has worked hard!"

Security personnel were stationed at the entrance to maintain order and guide the audience to their respective exits.
